East Point Police are looking for suspects in an attempted carjacking and beating of an 80-year-old man.
It happened September 14th as Creston Portis was returning to his East Point home after visiting friends.
East Point Police Lt. Cliff Chandler said the crime hit the police department hard because the victim’s son used to be a police officer with East Point. “This crime is particularly disconcerting to us at the police department,” he said. “We are particularly concerned at the level of violence that was exhibited by these perpetrators.”
Police said Portis was approached by two males and one female after they blocked him in his driveway. They were driving a black Mercedes Benz, according to police.
The two males were armed with at least one handgun and threw a brick through the passenger side window and began striking Portis in the head with the gun.
UPDATE I: Police have surveillance photos of a black male and two black females that are persons of interest in this crime as well as two vehicles believed to be involved. Lt. Chandler said they were using the victim’s credit card at a convenience store.The police also have pics of the two cars believed used in the crime.
Same concept..... Obamas CHANGE has me adding a third spare mag as well..... His promotion and passive encouragement of feral criminals reinforces my choice as yours for high capacity multiple spare mags for EDC.
Sad state of the nation....
Gun up folks, get initial and recurring training as this threat is real and local to you and yours.
Stay safe GR.
No one should.
“I wuz surprised at age 55 to find out I was an OWG. Now that I know, I’m more prepared.”
I have a CHP for that very reason. Can’t run well, bad back and hip, not as strong or quick.
55 ain’t the new 35 by a long shot.
Can I assume that East Point is in Texas? It helps to know all the facts in a news story.
east point is south metro atlanta, between downtown and the airport basically.
Likely stolen too.....
I would not be surprised to find out that Eric Holder is running a massive protection racket aimed specifically at whites.

Sadly, when this 80 bought his East Point home it was was a nice suburb. The fungal rot has spread 30-40 miles outward at this point.
I guarantee if this had happened when my father was still living and the victim was his father or mother, the parties responsible would be found hanging from the nearest pine tree.
No, East Point is in Georgia.
Sorry, it is often unclear from web postings. This is one of those cases.
